The forward proved those who thought he might take time to adjust to the AFL’s physical demands, quickly adapting to the tempo at the elite level in a promising 14-game debut season.

Most significantly, he provided a much-needed touch of class, pace and X-factor, but also worked hard defensively, averaging 3.5 tackles a game (equal eighth at North). With another pre-season under his belt, Harper will look to cement a senior spot in 2012.
